Selecting the ICL, Fujitsu, or Nixdorf RS-232C terminal sets the defaults listed below. These defaults take precedence over standard defaults. So if you select Fujitsu RS-232C, then select the standard defaults, the Fujitsu defaults still take precedence.

    Programming the LS 1004 RS-232C Code ID Characters Selecting the ICL, Fujitsu, or Nixdorf RS-232C terminal enables the transmission of Code ID Characters listed in Table 4-3. These Code ID Characters are not programmable and are separate from the Transmit Code ID feature. The Transmit Code ID feature should not be enabled for these terminals.

  • Page 54 LS 1004 Product Reference Guide Convert UPC-E to UPC-A Select this option to convert UPC-E (zero suppressed) decode data to UPC-A format before transmission. After conversion, data follows UPC-A format and is affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g., Preamble, Check Digit).
  • Page 55 If UPC/EAN without supplemental characters is selected and the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the UPC/EAN is decoded and the supplemental characters are ignored. If autodiscrimination is chosen, the scanner will, after additional processing to ensure a good decode, transmit either.
  • Page 56 The system character is the digit printed to the extreme left of a UPC symbol. The country code for UPC is always zero, and it cannot be transmitted without the system character.
  • Page 57 Programming the LS 1004 UPC/EAN Security Level The scanner offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Increasing levels of security are provided for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse relationship between security and scanner aggressiveness, so be sure to choose only that level of security necessary for any given application.

  • Page 71 Programming the LS 1004 Parity A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. If you select ODD parity, the parity bit will have a value of 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an odd number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
  • Page 72 LS 1004 Product Reference Guide Data Format This parameter sets the transmit data format. The options are: 7 Data Bits (With Parity) (default) 8 Data Bits (With Parity) 8 Data Bits (Without Parity) 8-Bit 7-Bit Stop Bit Select The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream.
  • Page 73 Programming the LS 1004 Hardware Handshaking Hardware handshaking allows you to check the readiness of the receiving device before data is transmitted. If the receiving device is periodically occupied with other tasks, hardware handshaking is needed to prevent loss of transmitted data.
  • Page 74 LS 1004 Product Reference Guide ENQ ONLY The ENQ option needs the host to request data before it is transmitted to the host. This ensures that data transmission occurs only when the host is ready to receive. When you select the wait for ENQ option, the scanner waits for an ENQ from the host before it transmits data;...
